No, US Prices don't apply worldwide.
I brought up the topic of building BRENs, MG-42s, etc...a while back and got flamed about not knowing the laws, etc...
I simply didn't realize these didn't come in Semi-Automatic Variants.
But on topic, the prices for MG-42 parts kits is $369.95 - $499.95. Now, how much does it cost to reweld a receiver ?
Then again $134.95 for BREN Kits, $129.95 for L1A1 kits, $139.95 IMBEL FAL Kits ($999.95 for 10) make you wonder why FALs cost so damned much. Oh yeah, becuase some dumbass in Congress Decided to ban them and therefore the supply of receivers is so expensive.
You would choke if you realized how overpriced guns are in America.
Why ?
1) Unconstitutional Bans Artificially Alter Supply & Demand.
2) Massive SOT Tax levyed on importers, manufacturers, and dealers is passed onto the consumer.
3) 10% Excise tax on all complete guns. That is one reason it is cheaper to build your own AR-15.
4) Manufacturer/Importer Profit/Markup
5) Dealer Profit/Markup
6) 11% Pitman/Robertson Conservation Tax
7) $8 NICS Check. More in some states.
8) On top of all the previous taxes, the state and/or county levys a sales tax. 6% in most of Florida, 7% in some counties, 7.5% here in Escambia County.
That is why Pre-Ban Style Fully-Automatic AK-47s cost $5 in Sub-Saharan Africa and $5000+ in America. Don't you love that 10,000% Price Increase ?
